SEC598: AI and Security Automation for Red, Blue, and Purple Teams
About This Course
SEC598: AI and Security Automation for Red, Blue, and Purple Teams empowers you to elevate your security program across offensive and defensive domains. Whether you're automating adversary emulation campaigns, building intelligent response workflows, or engineering detection-as-code pipelines, this course teaches you to harness AI-driven automation to outpace modern threats.
You’ll develop the skills to operationalize AI, agentic automation, detection-as-code, and SOAR while integrating GenAI and LLMs into enrichment and response workflows, deploying secure cloud infrastructure, and emulating attack techniques.
These capabilities are brought to life through 25 immersive labs and practical frameworks that unify red and blue team functions into continuous purple teaming—enabling you to automate offensive testing, scale cloud-native detection, and build AI-powered playbooks for faster, smarter, and more resilient cybersecurity operations.
